Deleting a metadata favorite

If you have a metadata favorite that is not needed any longer, you can remove it by deleting it. When you delete a metadata favorite, it can no longer be used to populate attribute values for new or modified features. However, deleting the favorite does not affect the values in the feature-level metadata fields for features that were edited when that metadata favorite was active.

Steps:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. If necessary, load data in the map.
3. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Production Editing.
4. Click the Production Start Editing button on the Production Editing toolbar.
   Note:

   The Manage Features and Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes windows automatically appear when you start an edit session using the Production Start Editing tool.

   Tip:

   If the Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes window does not appear when you start an edit session, click the Show/Hide Attributes button on the Manage Features window.

5. Click the Metadata tab on the Manage Features window.
6. Right-click the Metadata tab and ensure that the Use FCT Metadata option is checked.
7. Click to choose a metadata favorite in the Metadata Favorites list.
8. Right-click the metadata favorite and click Delete Favorite.

   The metadata favorite is removed from the Metadata Favorites list on the Metadata tab.
